Hi Guys
I am in the process of cataloguing a friend’s collection, and among his swords is this one which was sold to him many years ago as medieval. I personally have no idea with this one, the orb and cross look original to the blade but the squiggly scrip looks out of place. The pommel is also unusual. Any thought on what this actually is or how I might best describe it would be gratefully received. At this stage I have just listed it as 16th Century Style Broad Sword. Overall Length: 43 ½” 100.5 cm Blade length: 36 ½” 92.5 cm Blade widest point: 1 ¾” 4.4 cm Hilt widest point: 6 ½” 6.6 cm Inside grip length: 4 ¾” 2.2 cm Marks, etc.: Orb and Cross, squiggly scrip starts about 3” below Orb and Cross mark. Cheers Cathey |
